The former President of the Republic of Sierra Leone and who happens to be part of Africa Elders Forum, Ernest Bai Koroma has, on a confirmed source of ours, just arrived in Dakar, Senegal on ECOWAS mission.

The reason of the visit is to attend a dialogue on sustaining Democratic Principles in the ECOWAS sub-region organised by the West Africa Elders Forum (WAEF).

The West Africa Elders Forum (WAEF) is a forum of African Elders who have served as heads of states, coming to together to discuss issues affecting neighbouring countries in West Africa and bring heads together to settle them.

Recently, former Presidents Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and six other former West African leaders on joined forces to establish a mechanism targeted at preventing and resolving election related conflicts and maintaining stability in the sub-region.

The leaders resolved to collectively exert their enormous goodwill towards ensuring peace in West African nations, by promoting credible elections and good governance, in order to prevent the nations from descending into crises.

Among the Elders that graced the occasion was Erstwhile President, Ernest Bai Koroma.

The WAEF is holding it next meeting in Dakar, Senegal to dialogue on sustaining Democratic Principles in the ECOWAS sub-region. The former President of the Republic of Sierra Leone has today arrived in Dakar to grace the event.

We pray that the meeting is fruitful for the development of West Africa.
